Indicate Correct Answers

Since this is a test to assess users, of course you'll want to indicate the correct answer for your radio buttons, check boxes, or drop downs. You can do this in one of two ways:

The simplest option is to simply click on the right answer when you're editing your test on the Build tab.

Alternatively, when you have the Build Tool box open for the field, beside Options click on the correct answer to edit it, click the checkbox beside Answer, and click the Save icon.

Test-Specific Form Fields

When you click add field in a test and select either drop downs, radio buttons, or checkboxes (each with an * beside its name), two additional values are available:

(1) Score - what is the score, or the mark, that can be earned by the user with this question.

(2) Explanation - if the user answered the question incorrectly, what text (if any) do you want them to see? This is an opportunity for you to present some knowledge guidance, the correct answer, or positive reinforcement. You can also leave this field blank.

On the Build tab, there are a couple of additional options for tests:

(1) Passing Score - the score users must attain to get a passing mark rather than a fail. There is no requirement or rules for what is a "pass", and this score is is entirely up to the admin.

(2) Possible Score - this is the maximum score possible on the test. This field is automatically calculated based on the scores you enter for each individual test question.

Add a Question Bank

A test also gives you the opportunity to add a question bank, which can minimize cheating by presenting a different version of the test each time it's taken. A question bank is a pool of questions that will randomly be included into your test, generating the same overall number of questions and points.

To add a question bank:

On the Build tab click add question bank, as shown in (3) above.

The Build Tool box appears, giving you the option to name this Question Bank, specify the number of questions to pull from the bank, and give the score for each question.
